Hi everybody, my name is Latoyah, I currently live in Oudewater, gem Utrecht (but previously in Rotterdam and Amsterdam) and will soon be moving back to the city again. Ive been in and out of this foraging course, but starting over to get back into it!
As my graduation project from the art academy I started a queer herbal care project a year ago named Garden of Queerdom, which I have been continuing with again this spring. Its been really lovely because it has “forced” be to be in contact with foraging and herbology on a regular basis (I love love love it, but sometimes i can get quite overwhelmed by all there is to learn so i freeze) but along the way I’ve been learning A LOT the last two years, just by reading from different foraging books and videos, foraging, growing and making.
I’m looking for a bit more structure here so im exciting to learn more through this course.
I didn’t know foraging wasn’t officially legal in holland until i did the research on it for the apprenticeship. I’ve never had any issues with it though, I do feel like there is some sort of attention drawn to you when you do (which makes me a bit uncomfortable sometimes, depending on my mood haha)
I would love to start a community garden for Garden of Queerdom so we can grow ourselves!
